Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician (Relief) - San Ramon, CA ABOUT VEG
In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we've expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies!
At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to our immersive, customer-focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve. This also means saying yes to creating the greatest experience possible for our VEGgies. Yes to working in an environment where you can find your place and feel valued for the amazing work you do. Yes to having unparalleled opportunities for learning and mentorship so you can grow where you want to go in your career. And yes to making an impact here in ways you never thought possible. VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.
THE JOB As a per diem Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician, you're part of a team that thrives on the front lines of emergency veterinary care where every second counts. You'll handle a wide range of cases, from minor to complex emergencies, collaborating with our doctors and team in delivering gold standard, emotionally intelligent care. You'll jump into triage, treatments, diagnostics, anesthesia, monitoring, and critical care nursing, all while being a steady, compassionate presence for pet parents in their most stressful moments. This role is for someone who wants to do the work they were trained to do (and more), continue growing their skills, and help people and their pets when they need it most.
Treat every patient and person like they matter—because they do! You keep people and pets together and stay by their side through tests, treatments, and everything in between
Jump into action, delivering nursing care, treatments, and emotional support in the most critical moments, from first triage to discharge
Bring the meds, the monitoring, the mastery—from IVs and CRIs to blood transfusions and beyond
Communicate like a teammate and think like a leader, helping shape plans and keep care flowing
Be ready to perform CPR like the trained RECOVER rockstar you are (training provided; VEG has a strong RECOVER CPR program)
All the techy stuff—from diagnostics and imaging to sample collection and placing tubes
Anesthesia, even for our most fragile patients? You've got it.
Use advanced techniques in your toolkit: central lines, endoscopy, ultrasounds, and more
WHAT YOU NEED
High school diploma or equivalent required; associate's degree or higher in veterinary technology from an AVMA accredited program strongly preferred
Credentialed as a veterinary technician (CVT, RVT, LVT, LVMT) in the state the VEG practice is located is required; VTS in ECC, internal medicine or anesthesia/analgesia is a plus and may affect compensation
1+ years of experience in a veterinary technician role; emergency or specialty medicine experience preferred
Basic computer skills and familiarity with practice management software and EMR
Excellent communicator and calm under pressure; ready to support those around you
Fine motor skills for handling patients and equipment
Ability to stand for long periods, kneel, work on the floor, and lift up to 25 kg (up to 40 kg with assistance)
Willingness to work in a noisy environment with strong or unpleasant odors
Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating or as-needed basis
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with diverse people
WHO YOU ARE
Empathetic, people-centric approach in supporting colleagues and clients
Humility, willingness to acknowledge mistakes and share credit
Strong sense of ownership and commitment to achieving meaningful results
Curious by nature; continuously seeks learning and growth opportunities
HOW WE INVEST IN YOU
Competitive compensation: pay range is $27-$56 based on a leveling system
Flexible work schedules to support your life outside of work
Generous employee referral program
Comfortable scrubs, VEG swag, and snacks/food in the fridge as part of the perk
